What will you do with your government cheese?

Hubby and I would buy a new bed.

I'm going to owe the IRS. By the time we get that refund, I may need it for bail money!

Plus, the rebate itself is taxable income.. so if you get $1200 figure on paying taxes on that amount in 2009.

You are just full of good news today, aren't you!!!!!

That is our choice if we don't owe the IRS by then. Our mattresses are fairly new and nice; but the bed is a squeaky mess.

we will buy a new bedroom suite......we have one bought 2 years ago, but sanita is not fond of the color...#######? color? does it hold clothers? yes..does the bed hold us? yes....enuff said, and yes i being buying a new one ..PW

The 'final' bill is anyones guess. I'd like to see the income cap at no less than 200k.

Ok, so right, no one can say at this point that they won't get anything... in one week the number fluctuated between $300 and $800 per individual... who knows?

right

They were trying to attach all kinds of stupid things to it last I read.

jomo's girl - yup. the political process, hard at work.

I think this is totally unfair.

I am being penalized beacause my income level to high to receive a rebate.

All you lucky guys have fun spending my tax money.

[Craneman 2]

At least I will not have to pay taxes on the rebate.

200k still leaves me out

why do people think they aren't going to get any?

Lots of people won't get any.

For example, if current news reports are how the bill pans out in the end, married couples with household incomes over 150k won't get any. That's a huge number of households in higher-cost parts of the country. You basically have couples with two middle-income jobs (75K each) disqualified from the rebate.

Also, people who did not receive a paycheck won't get a rebate.

I'd heard that even the richies were going to get it...someone on the news was saying how exactly does giving Bill Gates a $1200 married couple rebate, put money back into the economy.

I wasn't thinking about non-earners....didn't think we had any on VJ, support for immigrant spouse and all...

The Senate bill would give it to Bill Gates. But the bill passed yesterday in Congress has an income cap of 150K for couples.

The 'final' bill is anyones guess. I'd like to see the income cap at no less than 200k.

200k wouldn't leave me out which is why I think it's fair LOL.

I feel your pain. Our tax system rewards failure.

[Craneman 2]

Life is so unfair.

Once the rebate checks go out....we should start another poll... so how did you spend GRANDE CACHORRO's money?

well, seeing as I don't currently have any debt, I'll put it in the bank for later expenses. Never hurts to have a "rainy day" fund in case you have car trouble or unexpected expenses.
